PAPER
Cut-sheet paper is likely to have folds, bends or curls through 
handling, carrying or stacking, or depending on storage 
conditions. To avoid such effects interfering with paper feed, 
suggestions are offered below.
Do not use cut-sheet paper which is out-of-specification as this 
can have a detrimental effect on its feed. If any problems occur 
with using such paper, equipment or performance is not assured.
Folds
> Cut sheets folded all the way from side to side are 
unusable.
